The Elements Council is looking to hire staff members for all non-seasonal PVP staff positions. Hirings for all three positions will happen simultaneously.



Tournament Organizer

The Elements Council is looking to hire two new Tournament Organizers!

The work of a Tournament Organizer (TO) can be divided into two areas: planning and hosting. For hosting, please include the GMT times at which you can be counted on to host tournaments on both Saturday and Sunday in your application! This will be essential for ensuring the best timezone coverage. These are the main tasks:

  • Discussing and planning future tournaments with the other TOs. This includes agreeing on the designated TOs for each tourney, and letting the other TOs know if you won't be available.
  • Optimizing deck-building rules for balance, and making sure the rules are simple and accurate.
  • Tweaking of existing tournament concept ideas and creating new ideas.
  • Providing support to the community, in the form of questions via forum or chat PM, chat discussion, or in the tournament threads.
  • Resolving conflicts between participants, potentially ranging from desynchs to accusations of cheating, and maintaining a cool and level head in order to make decisions objectively.
  • Ensuring rounds are finished on time, and making executive decisions if participants run too far past a reasonable time.
  • Answering questions in chat when the tournament is in progress.
  • Communicating with present TOs in the event a ruling is needed.
  • Additionally, a TO is a Chat Moderator, and is expected to carry out the duties of one.


Requirements:
  • Jr. Member or above.
  • Reliable activity on a weekly basis.
  • Creativity in coming up with different tournament ideas.
  • Knowledge of bbcode, formatting, etc.
  • The ability to communicate effectively.
  • Maturity and reliability are essential.

In addition, the following things are recommended:
  • Having PvP experience to help balancing tournament rulesets.
  • Being able to host during times that are hard for the current TOs to cover.
    • Currently these times are 00:00 - 08:00 ; 20:00 - 24:00 GMT Saturday and Sunday. Being available during these times would be extremely helpful.
    • Please include the times you will be available to host in your application.
If you have any questions, please PM Submachine.



League Organizer

The Elements Council is looking to hire one new League Organizer!

League Organizers help maintain each season of League by keeping the standings updated and settling any disputes. They also create exciting weekly featured rules and help promote leagues to engage more players each season.

If you are interested in any of the above positions, send your application in a PM to Linkcat (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pm/?sa=send;u=9140) titled “Staff Application”. You may apply for multiple positions at once. If so, please state your preferences and if there are any combinations of positions you would be willing to work. Don't forget to check out what Council looks for in an applicant (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/elements-council/what-the-council-looks-for-in-applications) if you haven't already. Council will take all applications into account and assign staff positions to our volunteers accordingly.

Greetings, council. I believe that I would be a valuable staff member for reasons A and B. My first choice is to be PvPEO because of X. If I am not hired for PvPEO, I would still like to be TO, and I can host tournaments starting from 0:00 GMT to 13:37 GMT. If needed, I can be LO in combination with PvPEO or by itself, but not at the same time as TO. Thank you for your consideration.


Time's up, thank you to those who applied!
